Epicardio Heart Simulator

Developed for medical and nursing students and healthcare professionals who are interested in a deeper understanding of the ECG. This independently validated app employs interactive real-time 3D exploration into ECG to aid learning and understanding of the cardiac rhythm.

All text is available in English, German, Spanish and Mandarin 所有文字均以中文提供

ECG is one of the most common diagnostics for Cardiology that all medical and nursing students are introduced at an early stage of their training. Confidence and experience gained from simulated training can help make first diagnosis successful and decrease risk to patients.

This app uses real-time 3D anatomy, single and 12-lead ECG observation, electrophysiology simulation, temporary pacing and on-screen live ECG signals to simulate the normal heart rhythm.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
- Understand what causes the 12-lead ECG signals during normal sinus rhythm
- Explore the heart in 3D and gain spatial and temporal understanding of the heart's electrophysiology in normal sinus rhythm

BENEFITS
- Mobility. Users can access simulation training on their personal devices anytime, anywhere
- Deeper understanding. Real-time interactive 3D anatomy and electrophysiology, and interactive placement of pacing wire and ECG electrodes provide spatial and temporal understanding of what causes the ECG signals and helps with retention
- Realistic training. Accurate real-time electrophysiology simulation offers realistic training
